Stratford Picture House

You may have noticed me being pretty quiet over the last week or so, and for this I have a very good reason. I am writing a book. I'm over 115,000 words in but DEAR LORD I'm at that stage when I don't know if it'll EVER be finished. I'm supposed to be filling in the blanks right now- linking up scenes and sequences and getting the chapters in order and writing any little bits that I've left empty. But I'm still no closer to the end. How can this BE?

But before I get back to work, I have been asked to remind you all that my event at the Stratford Picture House on April 5th is the only public event I'll be doing for The Maleficent Seven. For those of you who don't know what a public event IS, it's basically me on stage yapping and answering questions for an hour, and then we go on to have a signing. All other appearances for TMS are just signings.

I've been asked to remind you about this because apparently there are lots of tickets available. Well, I'm ASSUMING there are lots of tickets available. The words used were "it's been slow to book", which means roughly the same thing. Maybe it's because it's the Easter holidays or it's the start of a weekend, but usually events pretty much sell out in a very short space of time. So Harper Collins publicity people are all going "uhhh... what's happening?"

Oh, and for those of you who have already booked tickets, don't you fret. If it IS a smaller crowd than usual, it just means the event will be more of a casual chat between all of us. And also you won't have to wait in line for hours.

But, uh, for all you others... book a ticket. Or something.

I'm getting back to work now. But before I do, two pictures of cats.

One cute.


One scary.

I know but I figured MOST people are off school

*nods*
If you were to compare Scouse (Liverpool), to somebody further south, you might notice the difference a little better.
It's like, there are differences between American accents. :)

I don't think I really have a specific accent, myself. People say I pronounce my 'U's closer to 'A's and 'e's more like 'air'. :P

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

I, either fortunately or unfortunately, Dont have a accent

Star Inkbright said...

Hmm. I was just thinking of England, really.

On top of the examples I gave, we have all the different Welsh accents, the different Scottish ones (of which Mel says there are variety), and the Northern Irish ones as well.

Welsh, Irish and Scottish are completely different to each other and to us Englandians . . . :)

I'm sorry. I live in Britain, the UK and England. I label 'country I live it' with all these labels, but when I think 'country I liv in' I see Englnad's shape, so yeah. :)

Flip and Bibble said...

The 28th is my last school day. Stupid mean school. My school really sucks as well. The teachers are something out of St Trinians, only less fun.

Flip and Bibble said...

Tyler, technically everyone has an accent. Otherwise you'd sound like you came from everywhere at once :P...I wonder what that would sound like...quite mutanty...

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

I"m on my holidays already

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

I'm from Port Laoise and I've heard their accent, it sounds nothing like mine

Mine start tomorrow we have a half day so im put half 12

Aisling Dubh said...

Well that's just great now I have to ded.

I ded to TMS and the TMS celebration. They're bothy going to be amazing.

I aslo ded to Derek hopefully joining our TMS celebration. And to us having enough space for the whole celebration on this page.

I ded to Derek Landy for writing Skulduggery Pleasant and just bein generally amazing. And if it wasn't for him and therefor his blog we wouldn't have met. So I ded to Blogland as well.

I ded to Skulduggery Pleasant for being the best books EVER.

And I ded to all bloglandians. Every one of you is amazing and brilliant.

I ded to all minions.


That's all I can think of to ded to. I think this is the longest comment I've ever written. I don't write long comments very often at all.

Aisling Dubh said...

And that wasn't even a very long comment.

Flip and Bibble said...

I'm going to depart to do some physics homework I'm unsure about and then maybe sleep. Au'revoir.

Mary Contrary said...

People say, on occasions, I speak like the people from Stoke. Others say I sound Australian. o.O
My voice is a mess. :P

I'm already into Easter Holiday, too.
Only missed one day of school due to snow, though, for that reason.
Speaking of which, the buses STILL aren't running down here. :/

Alice (Or Tyler to some) said...

OY, I DONT CARE BOUT POUNDS TO POCKET!!!!!

Star Inkbright said...

Thanks for reminding me, Taia!

ALSO, Liverpool accents are completely different to all those I mentioned!

@BJ: In that case, you have a cool accent. :)

I was born out of the country to parents from the North (different places in the North, but never mind that), but when I was maybe three we moved to Ipswich down South, so kid of got a Southern accent there. Apparently after six years I haven't really lost it. Er, good?
I always felt really awkward saying words like 'bath' and 'grass' and so on though, because I never knew whether I should say them like I'd first learnt to pronounce them or like everyone else pronounced them . . . I always wondred why my famly pronounced them differently, y'know. When I moved up here it was a big relief to find everyone pronouncing them like I did. :)

Although it was a lose-lose situation, because my accent was different to both the Southerners and the Northerners. *laughs*

I think not mny people think the really have an accent, because they would class their accent as 'normal' . . . :)

Aisling Dubh said...

I have a Dublin accent. I think the one I have is posher than the other one. Well thayt's what I think anyway.

*laughs* You're welcome, Star. :P
I have the same issues. Because my family are all from various different areas of the south, but I live where I do, my accent is a big mess of what I hear around me, and what I hear from family. I never know which way to go. :P

Hiya, Fabi!

Hi Fabio....Fabi...My phone is a Fabio fan

Star Inkbright said...

GREAT DED! *appaulds*

Ah, many long comments are written by the Inky Star who is Bright. When I'm writing really long stuff, I often get told my comment is too long (4, 612 charcters is the maxium you can put in a comment, I think) and have to spilt my comment up. Grr. :)

Mary Contrary said...

Nicely done, Aisling. Dedications rule, at any length. :)
My comments build up because I have a habit of hitting Refresh and then piling more onto what I've written. :P

I was going to do something. *frowns vaguely*

Now I've forgotten what it was. How irritating.

My phone has automatically added most Bloglandians' names to its dictionary, but it keeps trying to call Mara Nara.

Speaking of Mara, I finished her project today. :-) I have to wait for...something before I can post a picture of it, though.

Star Inkbright said...

I just like rambling on about meaningless things. *laughs*

I never hit refresh before I post my comment, so often new devolpments have occured prior to my commentand my comment is now out of place. -_-

Star Inkbright said...

Nara? *giggles head off*

My computer never ever spellchecked itself until it updated my whole internet blah. A few seconds after experiencing the new spellsheck, I managed to turn it off because the red lines were so damn irritating. I use too many nonsense words to deal with such as spellcheck. *nods*

That is insane. I-N-S-A-N-E.

Was anybody else aware of this?

*laughs*
Generally, I hit refresh at the wrong time. Because I then hit Comment, and there's a tonne of comments suddenly appeared. :P

Anonymous said...

I convinced my iPod that 'ninjaeroplanetacklehugged' 'Mevolent' and 'Harralie' were words. Also 'Ameriminion' and some others I can't remember. :-)

Mary Contrary said...

I ignore spell-check.
It likes to spell things American-ly.
I tell it "No! Colour is spelled with a 'u'!"

Spell-check ignores me.

Georgina Howlett said...

I was aware of it.

I heard my name called several comments ago

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Well, Derek, I'm going to be in Ireland on Friday, and I'll be going to your signing in Dundrum, I think you said. I need more details for that, by the way. Also, I need to arrange to meet up with you separately, on account of the fact that I'll be there in, y'know, three days. So... Um... Yeah. I'll just add this so this comment is more noticeable:


HEY DEREK! OI! LOOKIE HERE! DEREK READ THIS! READ THIS AND REPLY!

Star Inkbright said...

I say 'gotten' automatically these days. I read too many American books . . . -_-

Mary Contrary said...

Oh, my iPod is an idiot with auto-correct.
It changed spider to "shiner", once. o0

I've spend many an hour fighting with it over the word "Awesomesauce".
Still, it refuses to give in.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Derek is Derek i think i may smack him

Star Inkbright said...

And I'm sure I've mentioned the time when I said 911 instead of 999 and didn't even realise for a bit AFTER it was pointed out to me . . .

I think I woud die if I had autocorrect. D:
*shakes head* Stupid devices . . .

Anonymous said...

My spellchecker also spells things Americainly, but that's ok, 'cause I'm actually American.

And if I type something several times, tyuiopyui, for instance, it becomes automatically recognized...usually.

Aisling Dubh said...

Is magically here again I think. But msd actually will suddenly dissappear I'm just not sure when. Probably in about half an hour. At which point my iPod will be taken from me and I won't get it back until tomorrow morning.

There's an MCS song called "My Favorite Accident".
My head explodes every time I type (or write) it, because since it's the title, I feel the need to put it as it is, without the 'U'. -.-'

Hi again, Aisling.

Aisling Dubh said...

My iPod recognises Aisling but it puts a red line under it. It's offensive. What did the name Aisling ever do to you iPod? Well? No are you not going to answer me now?

Star Inkbright said...

I just wrote 'see' instead of 'say' over email. *shakes head at self*

I just realised that if I ever have to comfort somebody, I can just imitate one of my characters. That is such a huge relief. *is terribe with that sort of stuff*

Wait. They're part of me, so how come they can me good at it and me not be? *scowls*

I don't just vaguely think that they're good at it. Ez was doing a pretty good job of trying to cheer up Hunter yesterday. How come, then, I can't do that? What the actual hell?

Meh, it's just because they're awesomer than me. :)

I'm sure devices wil hate 'Inkbright.' :P

Just... Em, it will get better. [hugs] You might still have haunting memories for the rest of you're life, but at the very least, it'll die down. You can do it, you can pull through. We're all here for you.

Em . . . All my fictioal evidence says it WILL get easier, and my fictional sources have taught me much real-life knowledge over the years. :)

I've been in a lot of bad moods recently, but I'm mostly good at the moment. I suppose all the bad-mood energy is being used on awesome people like them. *sighs sadly*

Makes me feel guilty . . .

Emerald Melody said...

I have been waiting patiently for 3 months, for something to get fucking better.
I've been taking anti-depressants for 3 fucking months, hoping for things to get better.
Newsflash: They won't!!

I am tired of fighting with myself. I am tired of trying to keep a flame alive that should have died months ago.
I am just tired.

I just want to die...

I don't want to go to some signing and pretend I'm okay. I don't want to write a stupid fucking book that won't go anywhere anyway. I don't want to sit and wait anymore and have people patronizing me by saying 'Things will get better.'

I just want to die.
It is a simple request.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Thanks guys. *hugs*

When my friends call themselves ugly it makes me goddamn sick. And then they compliment ME. -.- They just can't see the truth. I KNOW I'm ugly. But at least I know it's true. They can't keep saying this. It's just not... *falters*

Sorry. :/ My feelings like to be let out at times.

Star Inkbright said...

Very msd. :/

Mary Contrary said...

*hands Mara a cookie*

*laughs*
A statement of the obvious is nice from time to time, Fabi. Yours included. :)


~All the destruction will one day end
And you'll finally know exactly who you are
It's just a matter of timing~

Coming from a person who, five years previously, wrote
"I still don't know exactly who I am
I never will, Amen"
I think that says something.
Not entirely sure how it's relevant, though. I guess it says that things can change.
Because they do.
It might take five years to fully turn around, or to realise that it will, but it'll happen, and it's worth holding on for.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I'm so sorry, Em. *hugs tightly*

I wish I knew what to say. I really do. But I just don't know. I haven't been in your situation.

If you're still here, there must be a reason for it. Maybe your book will be a huge success. Maybe something will happen to you that will change your life. Only time will tell.

If you don't do it for yourself, at least do it for us. I don't want anyone else in my life to leave me. Please, Em. We love you so much. I've lost so many people and I don't want to lose anymore. *hugs tightly*

I probably didn't help at all. But please, Em. Don't. I love you too much to let you go.

Star Inkbright said...

*hugs Mara* You can let your feelings out on us all you want. :) We're not just here to stand around looking pretty. :)

@Em: . . . Skulduggery got over the death of his wife and child, didn't he?
It drove him literally out of his mind and Vile occupied it for a time. I see fiction and fantasy as exciting metaphors for real life. Skulduggery wasn't himself for a while, but now he's fine. Going to find the quote I can't do right now :(, but China said he was able to joke again. :)

See? The Golden God has as good as confirmed, things WILL improve, and the word of the Golden God is law. :)

Aisling Dubh said...

Gtg bye this time I won't be back until tomorrow

Star Inkbright said...

Okay, I really need this other quote for you, Em, so I'll risk getting caught to go find this . . . Brb.

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I think I'll be here for the TMS celebration... *nods*

*giggles* I'M GONNA GET A PARTY OUTFIT READY AS MY PROFILE PIC:3

Star Inkbright said...

"There's others who longed to be dead when they were alive, poor souls; lives full of pain and misery; killed themselves for a chance of a blessed rest, and found that nothing had changed except for the worse, and this time there was no escape; you can't make yourself alive again." The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman.

I of course didn't remember the words, but this sentence stayed with me for years. The idea of it always drifted into my mind whenever suicide was talked about. Who says death is better? Death could be worse, and you could be kicking yourself for not staying alive because however crap life was, you'd much rather that to this . . .

Star Inkbright said...

That being life and this being death. Sorry, getting into the thoughts of the dead character . . .

*winces* The word 'character' made it sound like a story, entertainment. It isn't, and sorry for giving that impression. It is very real and I am very serious.

FOURS AIS! :(

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Derek! The first pic is really funny! But the second one isn't that scary.

115,000 words??? And which book is this? In a way, it's good you're not close to finished. More awesome reading for us!

Hi anyone who's on right now. I'll be on... Uh, after breakfast. Maybe. So I'm going to eat now. *gives everyone a hug*

See you soon! Maybe.

I haven't got any better at this stuff, either. -_-

Maybe I should ask my mum for advice, her obviously speaking to a lot of depressed teenagers through work.

I'm not just saying it to make you feel better, I swear to the ends of the earth and right down to the land of the dead and the harpies there (His Dark Materials reference). I don't believe in hanging friendships on arguements and a few words or actions done and said. It is attitudes and outlooks and thoughts that count. :)

I think I meant, I know perfect, perfect people and have read some perfect, perfect things, NOT that I can give a flawless definition of 'perfect' . . . Perfect doesn't mean flawless, btw. I used to think so, but Scáth edited my opinion and my opinion is much better now. :)

Mary Contrary said...

*nods*
For me, perfect is more accepting or embracing flaws, than it is lacking them. That's as close to words as I can get it, I think. :)
I'll put it this way, my opinion says it was perfect. :3

Bye Mara~ *hugs*
Bye, Fabi~ *hugs, also*

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS MARA!

See you soon Fabi, I hope!

*grins at Taia* GREAT DEFINITION. :)

How I would desribe perfect is prtty much the same but n a different way. Perfection is when something/one is amazing, despite the flaws, and the flaws actually contribute to the amazingness because it/they wouldn't be it/them without it, and also you wouldn't get the good things without the flaws, and the flaws just add to the overall amazingness and give it its unique, amazing qalities.

I think. *nods unconfidently*

Star Inkbright said...

No, I said the first part wrong . . .

OH, WAZAKASSISTIKA.

Star Inkbright said...

I probably should go now . . . :/

So sorry. Fours . . .

Mary Contrary said...

*nods* Agreed.
I think that's what I mean. :P

My thoughts are very, ah, abstract.
I get an idea, and... That's kind of it. There's a concept or an idea, and it makes so much sense, but if I try to actually apply it to something, the most I can draw from it is a couple of words, so I'm not certain what I'm really talking about.

Does that make sense, at all?

I don't know.
What you said feels similar to what my brain thinks, though.

I think. o0

Sorry, I was delayed in coming on again and I can't stay either. I read the comments before mine and just wanted to say this:

Em, there's not much I can really say now that hasn't already been said before, so here's something I found on a card. I was going to post it on my blog, and still will so if you don't see it here, I hope you will see it there.

One tiny butterfly
Shows what it means
To have enduring courage
And dignity,
So that even when the wind
Takes it in an unknown direction,
It flies,
Staying strong, staying brave.
One tiny butterfly
Lifts itself up
With the light
Deep inside its soul,
Rising on wings of hope
For a safe
And renewing journey…
You're like that butterfly,
Brave and beautiful.
I know your courageous spirit
Will carry you through this
Just like it has carried you
So many times before.
(This next part was inside the card.)

And I also know
I am here for you,
To offer friendship
And comfort
And support,
So you'll soon have
All the strength
You need
To soar once more.

This is for everyone else who's having a hard time at the moment too. I miss you guys! Stay strong. <3 Bye!

That is a beautiful poem, Lav, thanks for posting it.

Sorry I poofed and I'm still ridiculously distant.

HI/BYE LAV!! *hugssss*

Before I head off to school, I'm asking for your advice on this.

They're hunting us.
They're afraid of what we can do.
They're afraid our abilities.
We're afraid of them.
We're afraid of never seeing sunlight again.
We're afraid of the Prison, where they send us.
We know what they can do to us.
They know what we can do to them.

Jubi, you still har the blue mustache! [is surprised, but really shouldn't be. Jubi will be Jubi.]

[Realizes there's no way Jubi is still here at this hour and it's been an hour and a half since anyone commented]

Oh, beetle-brains.

I'm distant, might disappear. Hi, anyone who is lurking.

[notices mentions of YouTube]

I'm not going to get sidetracked. [eyes Chad Vader video] Probably. Um, yeah.

[decides to stop now]

Zathract Mist said...

In any case, happy birthday, again.

Nixion Strange said...

Sorry, I'm a little swamped at the moment, so I apologise if I'm distant

Zathract Mist said...

As you may have noticed, I'm more distant than you, so I really don't mind.

Nixion Strange said...

Yokay

Wow, i mean OMG WOW

I find SkulduggeryPleasent books in the libeary, think hay they look instrestng and BAM my live is changed. For good i hope, with all the other books i am a fan off i think this is one a the coolst, top 5 infact.

And then you have a blog wich people can write random stuff like i am now and hope to get an anserw,(Derek Landy is now in my top 3 awesomeness book lst)

Just one thing i am going to say before my brain s exploded with awesomeness.
My arm is quite(very,very) sore from me and my friend yelling "Sparrows fly South in the Winter" and then punching each other.
Did you, Derek, thing that people like me are cray enough to take everything you say into either pain and fangirling weirdness, ause if you didnt, you do now.

Mischief Shadow said...

i am tired because i was up late last night reading comics (i blame stan lee.)

Star Inkbright said...

I want books, Cain, but then I tell myself I can live. I like looking at how long I have resisted a book becauze it makes me feel strong. XD Also, once I've read them, they aren't new any more and I am closer to the end of the series. I often put off reading the last book in a series for this reason . . .

Mischief Shadow said...

hmm that was random why did i even write that

Star Inkbright said...

*laughs* GOOD ONE, MARA!!!!!!!! :)

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Me: Can I have your autograph?

Harry: Oh I thought you said something else.

Harry: I didn't-

Me: LWWY leggo get married!
